I had my last Herceptin infusion in February 2012. I was never on any type of chemo.
My only side effects were the finger nail splitting and breaking and an occasional drippy nose. I have had 4 heart tests and all have been fine. My blood pressure has gone up , but I attributed that to the stress of it all. I wouldn't worry about Herceptin side effects.
Most people have not reported any severe side effects.
